Smile

What makes Steve Costlow smile? “I have five granddaughters and two grandsons. They all make me smile,” said the 75-year-old Noblesville resident. What’s special about turning 75? “It makes you look at your past and all the good things you did. It also lets you look to the future and dream about all the good things you can still do.” He and his wife, Dale, have been married 55 years. Steve is a 1966 Sheridan High School graduate whose father, James Benjamin Costlow, fought in World War II in the U.S. Navy as a rear gunner for a Curtiss Helldiver, a dive-bomber aircraft. He likes to attend the Veterans Day Ceremony each year in downtown Noblesville, in remembrance of his dad. He volunteered for about 18 years for Noblesville Babe Ruth and got one of the fields, Logan Field at Forest Park, named after granddaughter, Logan A. Costlow, who died in 2002, at age 5. He has two children, Mark Costlow and Jody Costlow. He said, “I am just blessed to be here and have all the friends I have.” He is often found showing off his 1976 Chevy C10 350 engine/350 transmission (pictured above at Red Bridge Park Labor Day car show) with new rims and tires during parades and car shows. You might find him this Sunday at the Central Indiana Vintage Vehicles Father’s Day Car Show from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Forest Park in Noblesville.
